As a user, my first thought after reading the email was 'why don't they
just put that in the output of svn info?' After consulting the SVN book,
it appears the intention is for the info command to be client side only.
However, I think it makes sense to extend it to support the concept of
displaying information about a server as well.
So, how about:
svn info --server: info regarding server for current wc
svn info --server=URL: info regarding server at URL
I don't like 'svn version' at all, either. Version of what?
